Furthermore: I have heard the matter regarding everything for which you were sent to me. ...: I have arranged that the necropolis worker ..., but there is truth in his speech - so you said. Have you not heard ... the proverb: 'In the right is he who has complained in private' (= he who complains privately). When your superior returns ... [do not?] let him go away from you. You shall have this man brought from ... pass by and you shall bring my attendant with you ... If I discover that this necropolis worker was right, ... [that he?] beat my attendant, then I will give him .... for that. If I learn that my attendant is right (that) he was beaten on his body - then I will let you know what I will do with him ... him. Oh the man ... (has refused?) to work, by amusing himself ... (but) the harvest has perished. The mayor of Thebes and the steward to the scribe Tjary of the administration of the royal necropolis.

Ferner: Ich habe die Angelegenheit bezüglich allem, weswegen du zu mir gesandt hast, vernommen. ... : Ich habe veranlaßt, daß der Nekropolenarbeiter ..., aber es ist Wahrheit in seiner Rede - so sagtes Du. Hast Du nicht gehört .. das Sprichwort:'Im Recht ist, wer zurückgezogen geklagt hat' (= der im privaten klagt). Wenn dein Vorgesetzter zurückkommt ... [laß nicht?] ihn fortgehen von dir. Du solllst diesen Mann bringen lassen von ... vorbeigehen und du sollst meinen Gefolgsmann mit dir bringen ... Wenn ich entdecke, daß dieser Nekropolenabeiter Recht hatte, ... [daß er?] prügelte meinen Gefolgsmann, so werde ich ihm .... geben deswegen. Wenn ich erfahre, daß mein Gefolgsmann Recht hat (daß) er geschlagen wurde auf seinen Leib - so werde ich dich das erkennen lassen, was ich machen (werde) mit ihm ... ihn. Oh der Mann ... (hat abgewiesen?) zu arbeiten, indem er sich amüsierte ... (aber) die Ernte ist zugrunde gegangen.
